The russians completely isolate the occupied settlements from Ukraine, prohibit evacuations and do not allow volunteers.
This was reported in the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
In particular, all the occupied settlements of Velykoburlutskyi district of Kharkiv region are blocked today. Departure is possible only to the territory of the russian federation.
